Westbrook, Collison might have already won any Halloween costume contest

Halloween is more than two weeks away, but two Thunder players and their wives might have already won any group costume contest.

Russell Westbrook and Nick Collison, accompanied by their significant others, dressed up as Sidney Deane and Billy Hoyle from the 1992 film "White Men Can't Jump." The reigning MVP tweeted pictures Saturday night of the foursome's costumes.

The tweets have since garnered more than 28,000 retweets and 87,000 likes.

To make sure people not familiar with the Wesley Snipes and Woody Harrelson movie understood the reference, Westbrook tweeted accompanying images showing they recreated shots and promotional pictures from the movie.

In May, ESPN's "The Basketball Analogy" podcast listed "White Men Can't Jump" as the greatest basketball movie ever made. The film depicts two basketball hustlers teaming up to improve their chances of winning money on street courts and in a basketball tournament.

New Thunder player Carmelo Anthony also posted a picture of his Halloween costume on his Instagram page. He dressed up as the Night King from the Emmy Award-winning show "Game of Thrones."
